Cost.
Those boys who would Ike some
quick, easy, cheap carpentry, may
make a good substantial squirrel cage
in the following manner: Take piece
of board an inch thick, eighteen inches
wide and three feet long for the bottom.
Fasten upright boards about three feet
high at each end, with the ends round
ed. Now buy from any dealer in hard
ware, piece Of coarse, strong wire net
ting long enough to go over your
wooden frame; nail it securely to the
end pieces, and to the bottom board on
one side, bending it over the rounded
top. If yOu nail with stout tacks, the
fastening will be strong enough, and
there will be no danger of splitting
the wood of the ends.
Along the front of the cage the net
ting should stop within three inches of
the bottom, so us to leave room to put
in drawer, like the drawer of bird
cage, which you must pull out and
clean every day. Make this drawer of
a sheet of tin. Any tinsmith will turn
up the sides for you, leaving the front
a little higher than the other side and
ends in orller to overlap the netting
on the outside.
If you can procure the wire netting
only of a certain width, grade the
length of your cage accordingly.
If YOU can get stout branching
bough of some hard wood, fasten it Sc
cmely from end to end of the cage be-
fore putting on the wire covering, as
your pet will enjoy climbing about on
it much better than running in re-
volving cylinder, which is neither
healthy nor natural exercise for a
squirrel The end boards should also
be lined with tin if they are not hard
wood, as the sharp teeth of your pet
will soon make havoc with them.
Now for the door: Cut neat, square
door, four by four inches, and about
three inches from the bottom, in one of
the end pieces; you can fasten it, by.
hinges and small button.
For the sleeping apartment cut a
round hole in the other end board
near the bottom, about three inches in
diameter, and then, fasten upon, the
outside neat little. tin box, the bot
tom of which must be level with that
of the cage, so as 10 present the APP

Morrell brought into court a rail of the
gate, wire above it, pitchfOrk and q
shovel found in the Flicker barn. On
the tine of the fork was found a human
hair imbedded in dry blood. The mi
croscope revealed that the hair was
human and of the same color as that of
the murdered mans. 1t is not yet alb
solutely determined whether the blood
is human or not, but the corpuScles give
evidence of being human shape. The
stains OH the rail, wire and shovel are
also supposed to be human blood. DR..
G. NJ. Jorden said he had examined the
substances in question with micro
scope, and in his opinion the blood cor
puscleS were human.
At p. IN. the state rested and the de-
Tense commenced operations. 1t called
Constable Cotton and Alvah Eastman,
editor of the Herald. Both were at the
inquest and understood Herman Flicker
to say he did not go into the barn with
Brown. An adjournment was here
taken to o'clock Thursday morning. A
great variety of SurmiseS and opinions
are expressed regarding the final issue
of the examination, but the majority
seem to think old man Flicker will be
allowed to depart for want of cOnvicting
evidence, and that Herman will be held
until the grand jury can investigate.
The defense may plead for dismissal to-

BALTIMORE, Nov. 16.-CharleS A.
Hampton, young tObaccOnist, is COM
plainant in the suit for divorce entered
here to-day against his wife, Johanna
NJ. Hampton, nee Habelman. He pleads
abandonment at the altar, and claims
that. though married according to law.

ties are both young and well connected.
Mrs. Hampton is the daughter of Her
man H. Habelman, of the firm of Weir,
Habelman & GOttlieb. maltsterS, and the
heiress to large fortune. Hampton,
who Is quite ladies' man, paid court to
the girl when she was quite young. The
parents thought the visits were only of
a SOciable character, and made no oppo-
sitiOn TO the young mans frequent calls.
They had no idea that Hampton had
serious intentions, he having Just at
tanned his majority, and the girl not
being more than sixteen.
One day about four years ago the pair
concluded to get married, but fearing
parental objection they kept their in
tentiOn a secret. Hampton obtained
the license, and accompanied by the
bride-elect, called on Rev. Mr.. Shoaf, of
the Calvary Methodist Episcopal church,
who tied the nuptial knot. Immediately
after the ceremony the newlymade
wife returned to her parents, and Hamp-
ton went about his business. When
next he visited the Habelman residence
Hampton asked his wife to live with
him, but she, either regretting her
hasty marriage or fearing her fathers
anger, peremptOrily refused.
For some time after the young hus-
band tried to persuade her to change

parents learned of the union about six
months later. and at once proceeded to
get their daughter out of the way. She
was sent to Bremen, OstenSibly to finish
her education. Hampton learned of
her address and frequently wrote i'm
plOring her to return, but never re-
ceived an answer. firing of this sort
of thing. he concluded to have legal
separation. Mr.. Habelman is very
wealthy, while Hampton's folks are
comparatively poor.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-In an interview
today, DR.. Mackenzie laid stress upon
the fact that the new growth in the
throat of the crown prince had not eX-
tended since it was first noticed. The
destruction of the larynX, DR.. Macken-
zie said, was an extremely dangerous
operation. and an artificial larynX would
cause terrible distress to the wearer.
The crown prince took a long walk
today, and afterward received the en-
perOr and empress of Brazil. The
princes voice is clearer, and he is in
good spirits. Letters are constantly be-
ing received from all parts of Germany
and from abroad recommending specif-
les, which the writers say will effect a
cure in the case of the Crown Prince.
A farmer has come from 0bern-JeSa
with an ointment which he says is of
unfailing efficacy. He was received by
Mai. KeSSel, an aide-de-camp of the
crown prince, who promised to send
the ointment to San Reno. The speech
from the throne on the opening of the
reichStag is awaited with anxiety, as it
Is expected to contain a declaration re-
garding the position Of the crown
prince.
AdviceS from San Reno tonight are
that the crown prince experiences great
relief from the bursting of the tumOr i'll

discharge has been forwarded to Berlin

THE FRENCH SCANDAL.
Wilson's Testimony Proven to Be
Utterly False.

PARIS, Nov. len. Wilson appeared
before the examining magistrate to-day.
He insisted that the letters produced at
the Caffarel trial, and which, it was
claimed, were antedated, were actually
written in 1884. An expert was called,
who decided that the letters were writ
ten recently. The manufacturer of the
paper on which the letters were written
SwOre that the paper was not woven
until 1885. The magistrate has sum-
moned NJ. Wilson's secretary, who wrote
the disputed letters. The situation is
confused and diSquieting. Nine. Ra-
taxi, who has been condemned to thir-
teen months Imprisonment i'll cOnnec-
ton with the decoration scandals, and
other prisoners convicted of the same
OffenseS, have appealed from their SEN
fences, Offering TO testify and prove that
Gen. d Audlau accepted money for OBJ
tanning Legion of Honor decorations.
NJ. Gragnow, project of police, was
examined by the scandal commission To-
day. He denied that he had allowed
any one to have access to NJ. Wilson's
letters while they were locked up at the
prefecture of police. He was unable to
account for the alterations. Tomorrow
the commission will examine Premier
ROuvier. Minister FalliereS and NJ. Viii
son. The right has decided to force a
a debate on the Wilson affair in the
chamber of deputies tomorrow. The
extreme left. being in favor of a prompt
settlement. will support the right. In
tense agitation prevails among the dep
utieS, who recognize that they are OH
the eve of a grave crisis.

Miss Brown, in company with Fred

shooting at them with a revolver, firing
five shots, Miss Brown being hit in

turned his pistol against his own breast
and pulled the trigger, but the only re-

Throne on Opening Parliament.
ROME, Nov. 16.-Parliament was
opened to-day. King Humbert in his
speech from the throne said: ''Parlia-
ment can without anxiety carefully and
promptly attend to internal affairs.
Bills will be submitted TO reorganize
the ministerial departments, to reform
communal and provincial adminiStra-
tons, to establish a uniform penal
code, to bring about radical reform of
the prison system, to establish a single
court of cessation, to improve the edu
cation of the youth, to establish Sani-
tary code, to regulate and repreSS eX-
ceSSive emigration, to encourage thrift
among the working pOpulace, and to
promote credit by the reorganization of
banks of issue, by which fiduciary cir
culatiOn may anticipate the fortune OF
the future without present danger. If,
as there is full reason to hope, peace is
maintained, no estimate for extra mill
tary expenditures will appear i'll the
next budget, and then the government
will be able to place the finances on
firm basis" He praised the army and

continues her forward march in the
family of great powers and finds herself
side by side with the leading states.
She does not fear retrogresSiOn. All my
